Popovich inches closer to 1000 wins

In a night that the Spurs won their 6th game in a row, the celebration was not centered on the players. No, the players celebrated the 66th birthday of their head coach, Gregg Popovich after the game.

“He doesn’t like it (celebration); you’re going to get me in trouble,” PG Tony Parker said. “We sang for him, but yeah, he hates it. Yeah, it was after the game, the whole team sang to him.”

Parker sang during the game as well and helped the Spurs past a sluggish third quarter, scoring 17 points to get the Spurs past the Charlotte Hornets in a 95-86 victory.

“We went through a little dry spell in the third quarter,” Guard Danny Green said. “It seemed like there was a lid on the basket, but we kept moving, kept finding each other, and kept penetrating. Our defense is what kept us in the lead.”

The Spurs opponent talent level increases significantly as they prepare to host the Los Angeles Clippers this Saturday at 8. The Clippers are coming off a 94-89 victory over the Utah Jazz.

“We didn’t compete. We looked like we were scared,” Nuggets Coach Brian Shaw said. “I’m trying to be guarded in what I’m saying because I don’t want to throw anybody under the bus, but I just don’t understand how as a team we can’t come out and compete when you’re playing the best team in the league.”

Tony Parker, who sat out against the Nuggets last go around, will be on the floor tonight facing Ty Lawson.

“We have a great opportunity,” guard Tony Parker said. “We have two big games on the road and then we have a lot of games at home. It would be nice to take all those games because we have some catching up to do.”
